title: Breast Augmentation

...

There are implants that you can have inserted into your breasts, to make
them bigger. Some people choose to do this. You should wait until about
4-5 years after you start HRT before getting breast augmentation, when
most of the breast growth from your HRT will have occurred.

It's usually not provided on public healthcare in most countries, but
it might be possible to get funding from insurance for it. In some
cases, you have to pay out of pocket for it. It can be quite expensive.

**If your HRT regimen does not include progesterone, you should try
taking *progesterone* which may cause further breast growth. You should
take this for a while, maybe a year, before looking at breast
augmentation. [The UK NHS has information about it on their
website](http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception-guide/pages/the-pill-progestogen-only.aspx).
Ask your doctor for advice.**

TODO: add more info about breast augmentation, and information about
where to get it done, in various countries.
